All,

My ife will be becomming busier soon. We are hopefully buying a house, and there will be more moving to do. Then there is Christmas. Then I will be preparing for a new career, running a day care facility from my home, and will need to get that business up and running (or at least up and walking, if wobbly :p ). Then EU3 will come out.


So, below are the remaining betas I will upload, before doing Interregnum 1.0 at the end of November.

Will there be more after that? Probably. I always have ideas churning out and I live the mod. But if I/we/others decide to be involved in an EU3 version, then this will end as an actively-built mod. If EU3 turns out to be the wrong venue, then I might continue, updating it for MyMap or WATK3. Or maybe I'll just be too busy.

In addition to the principal content listed below, each beta may also have items from the 'other projects' list, debugging, tweaks etc.

It may also contain material from the "It was promised ages ago" section from that named person. (I am not holding my breath, although I know mikl will come good.)


October 11: Halych-Volhynia and the struggle of eastern Europe, including new related events for the Boyar League, Teutonic Order and Ukraine. DONE

October 18: The Horde Awakens, events for the Horde rebuilding itself after the turmoil of the 1400s, plus events for neighbouring countries, such as Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia etc. DONE except for Ukraine and Ruthenia ...
October 25
: The delayed material for Ukraine and Ruthenia, plus mikl's massive next phase of Papal States and Bavaria. DONE

November 8: China makeover, part 2 and really the only thing I will be doing for the far east. There simply isn't anyone to do it properly, so China part 2 will be a few key events that cover all the players in the region, plus leaders and monarchs. Significantly, I will include explorers and conquistdors and the ai files to help the various states find their way to California. because this will require me to also adjust the Colonial files and events for nations like Azteca and Dichali, it's a two-week-wait.

November 15: Colonial RotW and the African rebuild, which is a matter of tidying up some loose ends, and redistributing how the rest of africa is divided/vacant. Mostly it won't be vacant, but there will be events for gaining cores/province secession so that players can annex for coaling stations (the ai doesn't need them).

November 22: The Counter Reformation, the events covering the result of mikl's long arc of events that can have the Catholic Church reform itself, and the resulting Counter Reformation. Possibly more work than I imagine. :eek:

November 28: Interregnum 1.0



Small projects include ...

1. Asturias leaders and explorers (nothing before 1560). DONE

2. More events for Brittany and Burgundy

3. A chunky event for Eire for the division of the Ard-Ruire-ship into two roles.

4. Explorers for Finland , Bavaria and Kalmar to be in the new system.

5. Some last Malian events.

6. Maybe the Champa events of Ahmed, but they seem a little out of place with the rest of China being so bereft.

7. Finishing the province_religion file to cover Germany, waiting on mikl's stuff (see below).

8. Adding more colony names specific to Interregnum cultures.



The Promised Material

1. mikl's remaining events for the reformation of the church and Bavaria.

2. SunZyl's reworking of Union of Kalmar and Norway.

3. Calipah's reworking of the Mamelukes/Egypt

4. Calipah's material for India (less likely).

5. Orimazd's material for the Cacoal.

6. Orimazd's material for Central America.

7. Orimazd's material for the Inca region.

8. Thantos' material for the Kingdom of Italy.

9. Incompetant's material for Norway and the formation of Alba

There might be others, but I don't recall at this stage.


Phew!

My life has gotten a whole lot busier since...a week before I got back to school...which came as a suprise to me (the week before part...and I realized how little 24 hours in a day is when I got here, so I get either 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night, or 10 to 12 when I decide to crash really early...though that isn't really a decision so much as a spontaneity). I remember how my last Thanksgiving break was, with me doing research on the Iranian Revolution the whole time (I must have read about five 300 page books that week...and as usual I put off the writing until the day...after :( ). I know I have two papers due either before or after that break, though they don't have to be very long at all. I can't really promise any true progress until mid to late december for my stuff, I am sorry to say. But I can spout out millions of ideas in all that time :wacko:
 
It's all cool.

But after November 20th, if something doesn't come in fully-coded, ready to insert and bug free, then i can't promise i'll ever be getting it in to EU2 Interregnum. Maybe, but maybe not.

Just to let those interest know what's happenening and why a new beta has not been out for a few weeks.

here are the excuses.

1. We've had to go away each weekend except this last one.

2. Finn has been sick, and therefore not sleeping as much, and therefore me either.

3. We had some big storms that knocked out power for almost two days and disrupted life and internet time and connectivity.

4. I've had to do some handy work around the house on my non-looking-after-Finn-time.

Rest assured I am working on it all. I have done the second phase of Asia, all the generic leaders, monarchs, events, formation of China and ai files and have almost finished the RotW colonial file. A bunch of other stuff too. Upload on Wednesday. Promise.

Yes, the self-imposed deadline has been blown out of the water. I do the best I can.

Certainly waaaay more work than I imagined.

As with everyone else, real life getting in the way. I'll do what I can, and it'll be only 10% of what I wanted to do.
 
Don't stress too much over the mod. I'm still enjoying the last update thoroughly (when I have time between my marking, my own studies, and finding a new job, that is).

Cheers
